Hello readers, today I'm going to discuss an important topic for
computer geeks. We may lose our important data or files from the
computer hard disk, due to virus attack or we may delete them by
mistakenly. Once we delete those important data from hard disk, there is
only one option available to get back the files, that's via Recycle
Bin. But this is not a possible way to recover the files all the time,
because if the file size is too large, it won't go to Recycle Bin, so
recovering the deleted files is always a challenge.

There are hundreds of free and paid data recovery tools available in the
internet to recover your deleted data from hard disk or USB pen drive.
When people try to recover their deleted data from HDD using this kind
of recovery tool, most of the users' feedback about the tool is 'this stupid software doesn't work properly'. Actually the truth behind this is, they don't follow the proper rules to recover the data after the loss.

Rules to Consider Before Going for Data Recovery

Stop using the particular hard drive and avoid copying new files to the
hard disk drive, where you are going to perform data recovery process.
For example if you are going to recover something from local drive C on
your PC, completely avoid using local drive C. Because any copy-paste
activity on particular drive might increase the chances to overwrite new
copied files over deleted files.

And another important rule is, don't download or install the data
recovery tool in the hard disk drive where you are going to perform data
recovery process.

If you follow all the above given rules before going for data recovery,
you can easily recover deleted files with given below powerful free data
recovery tools. All these tools are free of cost and it has the ability
to recover any deleted files from your hard disk.
